Empire

My ODE game got complicated enough that I need to construct a few systems to continue running it efficiently. Need to figure out the hierarchy system out along with a few other things. === Standard citizenship package. === Requirements to being a full citizen: 99% High Elven blood. Adherence to the Empires Laws. Completing childhood education and receiving Citizenship papers, which detail everything about that individual, copies are held at every major records office. A citizen of The Empire receives a stipend of 100 gold/month A large house with a garden, all the basics conveniences and a full staff of servants. 30 miles of land which is traditionally leased to servants who pay rent and provide services to the Citizen. === Second class citizenship package. === Requirements to being a second class citizen: at least 50% High Elven blood with the majority or all of High Elven lineage being traceable paternally. Note: It could go without saying but I'll just say that beyond their explicitly stated limitation there is a certain glass ceiling which tries to prevent the second class from gaining any power. Adherance to the Empires Laws. Completing childhood education and receiving Citizenship (second class) papers, which detail everything about that individual, copies are held at every major records office. A citizen of The Empire receives a stipend of 50 gold/month A large house with a garden, all the basic conveniences and a full staff of servants. they get taxed twice as much and all government controlled utilities like education and other things cost twice as much as well. Not allowed to Enter the military except as battle aids known as "ensigns" Not allowed to gain nobility even after a purification ritual. === Serf Package. === Requirements to being a serf: at least 50% High Elven blood with the majority or all of High Elven lineage being traceable maternally. Adherence to Imperial Law A free education at the Servant schools. A track of land or position of authority within the servant zones. May not leave their designated servant zone. All other rights are same as a servant. === Servant Package. === Requirements to being a serf: Must be at least 50% an Elf, Fae, Erudite or other "higher" race on their paternal side. Not allowed to live outside designated servant zones without written permission. Adherence to Imperial Law. Not allowed to hold a direct position of authority over a Citizen or higher. === Slave Package. === Requirements to being a Slave: member of any of the "Lower races" meaning anything bestial, and all humanoids not directly related to elves (with the exception being orcs), e.g Humans, Dwarves, Gnomes, Halflings and so on. Not allowed to enter citizen zones. Not allowed to live outside designated slave zones without over site of a master or overseer May be bought and sold. Have no rights, other than that they are their properties and are protected only as their masters see fit. === Education. === A standard degree in the empire typically cost 50,000 - 200,000 gold. Annual payment for a standard profession job is usually between 25,000 and 100,000 annually. ==== Types of Professions. ==== ===== Military. ===== The high military chooses its own recruits, who they train at their academies in the central continents these recruits are typically invited only after they have proven themselves in other less elite units to be exceptional. Citizens can sign up to join the army of whoever their currently presiding Lord is, whether it is a Duke or a Baron anyone can sign up to join their armies, the presiding Kings army is typically a bit more exclusive, only accepting promising recruits who have received good educations. === Local Armies === Regardless of the different levels of local armies all such recruits must undergo an 1000 year training course. Local training camps cost 50,000 gold and have a fatality rate of about 50%. Officers schools are more expensive, oftentimes costing millions of gold, their fatality rate is 70%. Typically graduation from a training camp grants the rank in private, graduation from an officers school typically grants the rank of Lieutenant. Exceptional performance in either level of school grants the rank of Private First Class and Lieutenant Commander respectively, alternatively very rare or poor performance in the officer can grant the rank of Commander or Warrant Officer. The training Academies are typically taught by retired or wounded officers, the teachers being from their specific rank categories of course. Each class consists of a little more than double of the amount of privates which usually consist of a squad, this is because the Empire is well aware of training fatality rates and is compensating. The class is typically presided over by a teacher who is overseen by an instructor (who occasionally intercedes in lessons) who is overseen by an instruction overseer who are all overseen by the chief of education who reports to the presiding lords board of military education who report to the Lords military advisers education aid. Each private belongs to a unit of ten, with one of the ten in the squad being a private first class. The fire-team of 8 privates and is led by a corporal. 9 soilders. Each fire-team is a part of a Squad. A Squad consists of 4 corporals and their fire-teams, with one corporal of the ten being a lance corporal. 36 soldiers.
